Yes, I'm region B only and intend to stay that way for economic reasons; not just the cost of a new player, but the higher prices, international p&p, and potential for customs charges.MichaelB wrote:I think you have a somewhat inflated idea of how many UK-based Blu-ray users are multi-region!

This is quite aside from the fact that the CC version is vastly more expensive to a UK purchaser, not least because you have to buy the lot.
Here in the UK, we have the BFI, MoC, Arrow and the variable but prolific and often worthwhile Studio Canal, so that's enough to be going on with.
I had Journey and Stromboli on pre-order, but these have been cancelled by MovieMail, so I'll just bide my time until they are given a firm release date. Ditto the two Robbe-Grillet films.
I don't mind waiting for them, but it's a bit ominous that four releases have vanished from the BFI's schedule. I hope they're not scaling back on BD releases, although after their budget cuts it would be understandable.
